I am currently working as Research Project Assistant at Visual Computing Lab, IISc Bangalore under the supervision of Dr. Anirban Chakraborty. My primary research interest lies in the intersection of Deep Learning and Computer Vision. I focus on leveraging Unsupervised and Semi-supervised Learning techniques for domain adaptation. I have exposure to other fields like Natural Language Processing, Electronics, Communication systems, CAD, Graphic Designing, Video Editing, etc.
As an undergrad student, I have done my research intern under Prof. Hongliang Ren, NUS. I have also worked with a senior scientist at DRDO on a drone image based object detection and tracking project.
I recently completed my undergraduate coursework from Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT), Nagpur, India (Batch of 2021). During my bachelor's, I have incessantly worked at IvLabs, the AI and Robotics Lab under Dr. Shital Chiddarwar. Being a core coordinator of the lab, I have mentored motivated juniors and conducted workshops. I am planning to join academia where I can continue my research work in related domains!
